cesperanza and deifire -- your stuff has been sent and should be there in about a week. Other peoples -- I may have a chance to get to the Post Office again on... Friday, looks like.

Wow, I've been busy recently.

And I'm busy during business hours, which means that though I have time, it's not particularly useful time.

Rewatched some of S6 and have noticed several things -- I'm still very much attracted to Xander over Spike (it's the melty eyes and the snark in danger -- he's so a young Jack (SG-1), btw), the grief for Tara is actually pretty there and powerful, and Buffy got and gave quite a few hugs in those last few episodes. Very nice, the hugging.

And Spike's hero journey starts in the final leg of S6. He bites off more than he can chew -- thinks he's found a way to get Buffy, the way that Angel had her, and boy does he get surprised. Overall, I find Spike's journey very satisfying, start to finish. He was a true and independent hero, by end of Angel. Good for him.

Well, yeah, but Buffy isn't exactly welcoming...
...I think on the meta level, the writers just decided to drop the freindship arc. Probably thought it wasn't painful enough.

Also, apparently Dawn was looking too hot and they were squicked by the idea of Dawn/Spike subtext. Who said that? One of the writers, I think. Maybe Marti.

It's a fair point - they did have good on-screen chemistry.
